Beyond the Divine States

Ning long opened the cork, dust vibration, after the door opened, the door stood an old woman with crutches.

The old woman's hair was gray, her face was like a withered vegetable leaf, her body was thin and bent, her cheekbones were up, her mouth was down, and her frost like wrinkles were like a broken lotus leaf.

She raised her head, a pair of white eyes staring at the young man in white, voice trembling, said: "Mr. Ning... Back?"

Ning looked at her for a long time and couldn't remember which street she was. She just said, "No."

The old woman's face flashed a look of disappointment and said, "Oh... I saw your chimney smoking. I thought the old man came back..."

Ning Changjiu asked, "what can I do for her?"

The old woman looked at him, looked at him for a while, and asked, "are you the old man's Apprentice?"

Ning Changchang said, "well, you can ask me to tell him something."

The old woman waved her hand and said, "it's nothing wrong. Half a year ago, her grandson was ill. The old man was cured with a bowl of water. She wanted to thank him all the time, but he left for two months."

Ning long thought about it and said seriously, "you're welcome."

The old woman looked into the room and asked, "really not here? I wanted to bring an old hen over and let my grandson pay homage to his benefactor.... "

Ning long slightly side body.

The old woman saw the dark room, side by side in the chair, looking at her young girl like a kitten, and asked, "I remember that the old man had a pair of disciples like... Golden Boys and girls, but why did you come back? The old man hasn't come back yet."

Ning Changchang said: "the old man is still busy with some magic things in the imperial city. We'll come back to get some magic weapons and leave in two days."

"Oh..." the old woman shook her body and nodded, but the wrinkles on her face seemed to be deeper. She felt in the bag around her waist. Finally, she took out a tooth bone like pendant and gave it to Ning Changjiu, saying: "it's something from the ancestors. It's said that it has some aura. If you see the old man, remember to give this pendant to him, it will be a reward for treating your grandson, I'm old, too. If the old man comes back next time, I'm afraid I won't see him... Ouch. "

The old woman suddenly exclaimed.

When she looked into the room, she suddenly saw a pair of wolf like eyes staring at her. Her bent body trembled slightly. Her crutch knocked on the ground twice. She retreated a little and almost didn't breathe.

Ning long looked at the tree white one eye, explained: "mother-in-law don't be afraid, this is our hired helper."

The old lady was a little relieved and said, "this kid's eyes are really scary..."

Shubai stood there, staring at the old woman, holding a spade like a knife in her hand. Maybe it was because the old woman wanted to thank Ning Zhuoshui, so he hated the fierce light of the house and the black ground and glared at her for a while.

Ning long smile, indicating the tree white retreat.

Shubai turned to leave and went on to the stove to add firewood.

The old woman calmed down, looked at him seriously, and thrust the pendant into his hand. "Don't refuse, don't refuse. I'm going to die for saving my life."

Ning took over the pendant for a long time, took it back and said, "thank you for your teacher."

The old woman seems to have finished one thing, relieved a lot, sighed: "that's good, that's good."

Ning Changchang said, "do you want to stay for dinner?"

The old woman refused: "no, my grandson is waiting for me to go home."

Ning long also did not retain: "the old man on the road careful."

……

"Ningqishui is dead. You can accept this old man's family treasure?" The tree white stares at Ning long, is very angry.

Ning Changchang asked: "what should we do? Tell him about ningqishui's death? "

Tree white cold way: "anyway should not receive."

Ning long turned a deaf ear, picked up the pendant, looked at it in the light, and said, "the old man is sincere. It's really a good thing."

Ning Xiaoling asked, "elder martial brother, don't you want to return it secretly?"

Ning Changjiu said with a smile: "Ning Zhuoshui almost killed us, so we should charge some interest."

Ning Xiaoling is skeptical and thinks that elder martial brother is not such a person.

Ning long patted the back of her chair and said, "go, eat."

Tree white way: "but the rice is not ripe yet..."

Ning Changjiu said: "who said we should eat at home? It's rare to come back once. Of course, we have to go to the pub."

Shubai was shocked and said angrily, "what do you want me to cook? I did it for three

Rather long did not answer, just to the compass under the dark grid touched, took out a money bag, weighed, and then threw to Ning Xiaoling, said with a smile: "take elder martial brother to eat delicious."

Ning Xiaoling took a look at the bag of money and said with a smile, "OK."

Tree white Leng in place.

Ning long stopped to look at him and said, "well, there's nothing wrong with you. Go home. Don't let your master wait." Shubai was speechless and didn't know what medicine the boy in white was selling. Ning Xiaoling followed him and asked in a soft voice, "elder martial brother, do you think he is a malleable talent, tempering his mind?" Ning Changjiu shook his head gently: "elder martial brother has no spare time." Tree white is standing in the same place, listening to the sound of the fire burning firewood, looking at the edge of the pot cover overflowing hot gas, angrily scolded: "to his mother's fairy!" At the moment, three days before New Year's Eve, the central area of Linhe City has been decorated with lanterns, full of lively atmosphere. Ning Xiaoling sighed: "he saw you withdraw the money. You left him alone in the room, not afraid that the money would be taken away by him?" Ning Changjiu said: "the money left is not much, so we should test him." Ning Xiaoling snorted coldly: "that's my money. Of course you don't care!" Ning Changjiu joked: "when I was young, I was so diligent and frugal?" Ning Xiaoling said: "if you are not diligent and thrifty, how can you afford to invite elder martial brother to dinner?" Ning Changchang said: "don't scare me. You didn't move your eyes when you just passed the rouge powder shop." Ning Xiaoling said: "I was giving advice to my master. She looks so beautiful. If she could give some more powder, she would be a real fairy." Ning Changjiu said with a smile, "I didn't expect that my younger martial sister would respect my teacher as much as I do." Ning Xiaoling hummed low and didn't want to answer. After a while, she suddenly asked: "by the way, that pendant... Is there any problem?" Ning Changchang said: "don't worry, elder martial brother, it's no problem. We've suffered from the loss of Ning Zhuoshui once. Of course, we should be careful." Ning Xiaoling nodded hard. As the river passes through the city, the arch bridge stretches across the city. Pedestrians wear cloaks or jackets. Some rickshaw pullers sweat and roll up their sleeves. The green robe on a high horse has broad sleeves. The body shrinks slightly, the brow is closed, and the horse's hooves move slowly, as if deliberating on a poem. Near noon, the sun is shining, the river is not yet frozen with glittering golden light, several restaurants and song houses are built against the river bank, red paint is dry, painted yarn, it is clear that it is day, but still flickering candlelight, showing the shadow. Ning Xiaoling said with emotion: "there are still a series of dilapidated houses in front of us. It's very lively here. The gap is really big." Ning Changchang said: "if it were not for those small towns sheltered by fairy mountains, who could withstand wave after wave of attacks from mountain demons and mountain ghosts? Many people moved to the city and were content to have a place to live and have a life. These songs and dances are not the things that most ordinary people crave." Ning Xiaoling thought of the scene of mountain ghosts attacking the city when she was a child. After many years, when she thought of it in her heart, she still felt cool. She shook her head and said, "I don't want so much. After dinner, I'll take my elder martial brother to drink flower wine."
